Given:
The explicit function is:
[tex]f(n)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}[/tex]
To find:
[tex]f(1)=?,r=?[/tex] and first 5 terms.
Solution:
The explicit formula a geometric sequence is:
[tex]f(n)=ar^{n-1}[/tex] ...(i)
Where, a is the first term and r is the common ratio.
We have,
[tex]f(n)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{n-1}[/tex] ...(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
[tex]a=1000[/tex]
[tex]f(1)=1000[/tex]
And,
[tex]r=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
For [tex]n=1[/tex],
[tex]f(1)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{1-1}[/tex]
[tex]f(1)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{0}[/tex]
[tex]f(1)=1000(1)[/tex]
[tex]f(1)=1000[/tex]
For [tex]n=2[/tex],
[tex]f(2)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{2-1}[/tex]
[tex]f(2)=1000\left(\dfrac{1}{4}\right)^{1}[/tex]
[tex]f(2)=1000\times \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]f(2)=250[/tex]
Similarly, substituting [tex]n=3,4,5[/tex], we get
[tex]f(3)=62.5[/tex]
[tex]f(4)=15.625[/tex]
[tex]f(5)=3.90625[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]f(1)=1000,r=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] and the first five terms are [tex]1000,250,62.5,15.625,3.90625[/tex].

F(x)=400-4/5x find the function and intercepts
Answer:
The x-intercept is (500, 0); the y-intercept is (0, 400).
Step-by-step explanation:
F(x)=400-4/5x is already a function: a function of x.
To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and calculate F(0):
F(0) = 400 - 0 = 400; the y-intercept is (0, 400).
To find the x-intercept, set F(x) = y = 0 and solve for x:
0 = F(x) = 400 - (4/5)x, or (4/5)x = 400. To isolate x, multiply both
sides by (5/4): x = (5/4)(400) = 500. The x-intercept is (500, 0).
Some of answers use 3,14 as a substitute for pi.
Some use the symbol for pi. which type of answers
more accurate? The more accurate value is
is
Personally i think that if you use the pi symbol it would be more accurate because on a calculator there is an pi symbol √ which is the same it will give you an answer closer to an whole number.
Jason jumped off a cliff into the ocean in Acapulco while vacationing with some friends. His height as a function of time could be modeled by the function h ( t ) = − 16 t 2 + 16 t + 480 h(t)=−16t 2 +16t+480, where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet. What is the maximum height that Jason reaches?
Answer:
484feet
Step-by-step explanation:
If the height as a function of time could be modeled by the function h(t)=−16t^2 +16t+480, where t is the time in seconds and h is the height in feet.
The maximum height of Jason occurs when dh/dt = 0 (velocity is zero)
dh/dt = -32t + 16
0 = -32t + 16
32t = 16
t = 16/32
t = 1/2
t = 0.5secs
Get the maximum height
Recall that h(t)=−16t^2 +16t+480
Substitute t = 0.5
h(0.5)=−16(0.5)^2 +16(0.5)+480
h(0.5) = -4 + 8 + 480
h(0.5) = 4 + 480
h(0.5) = 484
Hence the maximum height reached by Jason is 484feet
The maximum height that Jason reaches is h = 484 feet and it will be reached at t = 0.5 sec.
How to find the maximum of a polynomial function?Let the function be denoted by [tex]y = f(x)[/tex]
If it is twice differentiable, then, firstly, we differentiate it with respect to x and equate with 0 to find the critical values.
Let the obtained critical values be [tex]x_1, x_2, ... x_n[/tex]
The second derivative of that function is then evaluated on those critical values.
The [tex]i^{th}[/tex] critical value has got the maximum if [tex]f''(x_i) < 0[/tex]
That means, if at [tex]x = x_i[/tex] , we get
[tex]f'(x-i) = 0\\and\\f''(x_i) < 0[/tex]
Then that point is where function will have maximum.
If [tex]f''(x_i) > 0[/tex], then the point where the function will have minimum
If value of second rate at point [tex]x_i[/tex] is 0, then we go for third rate of function and check the same facts so on for upper rate(if they exist).
For the given case, we're given the height function as:
[tex]h(t) = - 16t^2 + 16t + 480[/tex]
The function is infinitely differentiable as its polynomial(by a theorem).
Its first and second rate with respect to 't', we get;
[tex]h(t) = - 16t^2 + 16t + 480\\h'(t) = -32t + 16\\h''(t) = -32 < 0[/tex]
Thus, all critical points will be maximum points.
The critical points are evaluated by [tex]h'(t) = 0[/tex]
They are calculated as:
[tex]h'(t) = 0\\-32t + 16 = 0\\t = 0.5 \: \rm sec[/tex]
The height at t = 0.5 s is evaluated as:
[tex]h(0.5) = - 16(0.5)^2 + 16(0.5) + 480 = 484 \: \rm feet[/tex]
Thus, at time 0.5, the height function will be at its maximum value(484 feet). That means, the height of Jason will be maximum when time will be 0.5 seconds from initial time.

A curve is given the equation xy=25 and the equation of a line y=mx+b.
i. Express m in terms of b given that the line and the curve have one and only one point of intersection.
ii. If the line intersects the curve in two distinct points, find the set of values of b, given m=-5
Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
i, This is a rectangular hyperbola with symmetry about the line y = -x
If it touches the graph at one point only then
y = 25/x
y = mx + b so
25/x = mx + b
mx^2 + bx + 25 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
x = (-b + sqrt(b^2 - 25*4*m)) / 2m
Now there's only one value of x so
b^2 - 25*4*m = 0
b^2 = 100m
m = b^2/100.
m = +/-b/10.
ii In this case b^2 > 100m
If m = |-5|
b^2 > 500
b > +/-√500
So b > √500 or b < -√500.

Dog food bad contains 18 cups to fill it up his friend dog eats 1 1/2 each day he says he'll be able to feed his dog for 27 days that true?
Answer:
It's not true because 18 cups will only last 12 days, not 27 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 1/2 = 3/2
3/2(27) = 40.5 cups
18 = 3/2c

1-point free throw 2-point field goal he made 35 shots he scored 62 points how many of each shot does he make in 1 minute write the two equations for the problem
Answer:
x + y = 35 equation 1
x + 2y = 62 equation 2
He made 8 1 point free throw
He made 27 2 point field goal
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = 1 point free throw
y = 2 point field goal
two equations can be derived from the question
x + y = 35 equation 1
x + 2y = 62 equation 2
Subtract equation 1 from 2
y = 27
Substitute for x in equation 1
x = 35 - 27 = 8
He made 8 1 point free throw
He made 27 2 point field goal
Kaylee read 19 1/2 pages in 3/4 of an hour. If she continues reading at the same rate,
how many pages will she read in an hour?
Answer: The answer is 26.
Step-by-step explanation:
Simple, find the unit rate. That's 19.5 / 0.75 = 26.
or using fractions:
19 2/4 divided by 3/4
78/4 divided by 3/4
78 / 3 = 26
4 / 4 = 1
Unit rate = 26books/1 hour
A rectangular tank with length 50 cm and width 30 cm contains 36 litres of water. Find the depth of the water.
Answer:
24cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Length=50cm
Width= 30cm
Volume = 36liters
=36000cm^3
We know that the expression for volume is
V= L*W*H
substitute
36000=50*30*H
36000= 1500*H
H= 36000/1500
H= 24cm
Hence the height is 24cm

Step-by-step explanation:
y = 5 + 2x^2
if x =1
y = 5 + 2(1)^2
1^2 = 1
2 x 1 = 2
y=5 + 2 or y = 7
you substatute each one in for x to solve for y
Ellen is drawing two polygons. One of the polygons has 3 more angels then the other. What shapes could she be drawing?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This is quite and easy one, but also vague at the same time.
A polygon is a shape with 5 or more sides, so, if she were drawing a pentagon, then the second polygon has to be an octagon. A pentagon has 5 sides, and an octagon has 5 + 3 sides
In the same vein, if she were drawing a hexagon, with 6 sides, the other polygon has to be monsoon, with 6 + 3 sides.
A heptagon also gives us a 7 + 3 polygon, in decagon.
All in all, it depends on the first polygon she's drawing as the question is vague in that aspect.
